      Host xy's Atlassian Bamboo instance!

      XY was being continuously built, leak tested, and functionally tested on an Atlassian Bamboo instance in the Amazon EC2 cloud. The instance that was being used was too expensive for an open source project (dollars a month). Any resources to host our publicly available instance of Atlassian Bamboo would be helpful.

      Donate artwork!

      Like any self-respective piece of software, xy needs a logo. The current logo (https://bitbucket-assetroot.s3.amazonaws.com/c/photos/2011/Sep/09/xy-logo-2332649666-1_avatar.png) is pretty plain.

      • Tip:

        Discuss documentation, testing, webmastering, and/or publicity.

        Include URLs if relevant (we'll automatically linkify them).

      • Example:

        We need people to download version 0.4.5 and make sure the frobulator still frobulates correctly.

  • Q: What's a good bug for a newcomer to tackle?

      • Tip:

        Many projects have good small tasks that can teach newcomers how the project works. Now's your chance to share one of them!

        Include URLs if relevant (we'll automatically linkify them).

      • Example:

        Someone could improve the photo upload dialog box so that it lets you resize the photo before sending it to the web.

  • Q: What is a bug or issue with xy that you've been putting off, neglecting, or just plain avoiding?

    • [X]

      • Examples:

        I don't know how to get started with internationalizing my app.

        Bug 392 about printing was filed five years ago, and I don't even know if printing still works.

        I want help from a C coder writing a Maildir patch for Alpine.

      • Note:

        If this issue was formally filed on the web, be sure to include the URL.
